Collected the boiler tonight 180 mile round trip Banbury is a lovely place the stone built houses do set the place of
the boiler is massive think number two son has a slipped disk after lifting it in the back of the van.

The young lady and two dogs that greeted me where charming so much so that when she asked for a donation
for the church as the boiler was free I felt obliged to agree.

Will have to rearrange the bio shed to try to fit it in.

Update on the boiler finely got round to running it connected a hose pipe on the bottom
of the heat exchanger with the water adjusted so a small amount was running out the top.

Modified an expansion tank for the fuel threw in a liter of bio bled the pump switched on
and it fired up only to go out belching smoke.

Added a good dash of miss fuel gave the tank a good shake purged the feed pipe and
tried again after throwing out loads of smoke shifting the bio out of the burner pipe
and lots of resets up she fired and ran like a good one.

Tank was nearly empty after ten minuets so stopped playing have to look into changing
the jet and how to up the pressure.
